If from tie outer one is to Judge OF
the inner, there must be many twists in
side woman's head, for in casting the
eve over an assemblage Of women the
vsrid shapes of the hats are study.
The broad Ieghorn is the favOTite, as its
soft pliancy enables the wearer to give it
any turn that suits the momentarY whim.
The fancy for the summer bonnets is
something light and airy, just enough
gauze or lace to hold beads aud flowers,
the whole seeming more ike 9 fairy
creation than the work OF TlOrtGl fingers.
Rustic hats ere tor the July term.
Hats suggestive Of country life; clover
blossoms, wild roses and meadow flowers
/ beng the only trimming admissible.
| Another hist which meets with much
! favor IS braided OF the green Mexican
| grass, which retains It's color, ana is also
| trimmed with gsy wild flowers. While
] the coarse straWs are worn, bright young
| faces are not restricted to them, but GefC
! fingers my fashion the white drawn
muslin nat, which has been revived this
! summer, end is worn with the pretty
white toilets ct garden parties.
The sailor hat is for the seaside, and the
/ trimming most suitable IS & broad
! psnd Of ribbon or dottednet with flowers.
/ For horseback riding the high hat is o
| thing OF the past, the one invariably worn
now is low and soft crowned.
The high crowded walking hat permits
! the high dressing CT the hair, and the
! couture IS towering higher and higher
| until the wonder Is, where it viii stop.
! The wonderful superstruCture is hel& in
! place By pins Of all imaginable devices
and Shapes. \ little fringe over the fore
| head is indispensable, bat anything like
| regularity Ct arrangement IS tabOOed,
! the two sides must II no wise be alike
AMI the comb or ornament n4st DC on one
| side, or slgnting.
All correspondents from watering
/ places agree in saying, that there has
never been & season go marked by indi-
viduaIity in the dress of the women ire
duentipg these places. OF course there are
| the ultrs fashionable and the ultra
/ aesthetic TO be found, but many plain
| dresses WoTr, prove that these may be Ct
| cHce useful and pretty, and that there IS
/ no need that they should be shGQeleSs end
void Of grat iulaess. Quiet cClo-s, soft
! clingiDg material, and such graceful drap-
! ing es The form admits will make such =
costume, as shall stamp tic wearer 8
/ genuine lady.
! Among the rev;val5 in fabrics lineI is
/ coming into ust; the ladies Of southern
attitudes fully appreciate the value OF this
/ cool msterial, which has an added value
/ in the fact that whether white OF COlOred
it resists the destructive handling Of the
laundress. Here is @ pretty Partisan COS
tune OF white linen. The skirt has deep
folds falling at each side Of the front end
side breadth, 2 breadth Of embroidery di-
viding the skirt, The C9Tsage has . Y
shaped vest and very large sailor en-
| broidered collar With this is worn 4
round hat having broad brim OF rice
] straw, bound with velvet, the only Orna-
ment being large yellow and black bird
placed directly in front. Many dresses
of this goods are made with e sailor
blouse, having seams only on the Shout
ders and under the arms; 9 favOrte
trimming is a narrow linen braid sewed
on by row of mGchine stitching through
the center.
There is return 80 fOunces, many OF
the skirts of wash dresses haIing LOUNGES
10 the belt; some of these have as many
as twenty little tuCkg on each n0unCeI
these are generally across the bach,
while tucks fourth OF an
trcn in width extend down the front and
sides to within g foot Of the bottom,
where they stop and form 10unce which
is tucked across.
In making the gathered blouse w&ist, II
! is best to run several rows OF gathers st
the waist line, and strengthen by stitch
ing to q strip Of muslin, leaving s short

Sleeves for ell these muslin frOCk5 are
made slightly full g. the elbow, finished
wiLh iriiI OF the material or lace, and
frightened by bow of pretty ribbon
Some are made too full into the arm size
and the fullness is caught together here
and there the whole length Of the sleeves
by bows of ribbon.
There is q growing fashion which IS
1orthy Of commentator, that is amateU
dressmaking. Il has reached nigh de
gree Of perfection in England, where col
lege bred and well born women do TO
hesitate 70 bring science, arr and ecu
Gated taste to bear upon dress, and thi
effect is said to be noticeable among tbs
women Of that country, who lavc r0'
, been celebrated for being well dressed
1t is 10 be hoped their American sisters
VIII not disdain to emulate 50 worthy 81
